The Parrot Society of Australia have organised a special meeting event for November that will feature none other than Steve Martin - perhaps the finest and best known avian trainer in the world. This is an incredible opportunity to listen to Steve talk and see him in action. The event will include a PowerPoint presentation by Steve, followed by some hands on demonstrations with parrots and some Q&A time. This will be Steve's only public presentation on the east coast of Australia so it's certainly an event that anyone involved with companion parrots should attend. To find out a little more about Steve go to http://www.naturalencounters.com

This event will be held on the 27th of November, 2005. Venue details are yet to be confirmed however it will definitely be held in Brisbane. There will be a cost involved with proceeds beyond expenses going towards the new Conservation, Research & Education Trust that the Parrot Society has formed.

If you are keen to attend then you will need to contact:Stewart Williamson (Parrot Society of Australia President)on 07-3289 2523 or president@parrotsociety.org.au

Bookings are essential for this event and places will be limited.
